I have just completed a hardware and software upgrade from a 32-bit XP system with 3GB of addressable memory, Premiere Pro CS3, and Matrox RT.X2 to a 64-bit Windows 7 system with 24GB of addressable memory and Premiere Pro CS5.5.2. None of the drives except the C have been changed. I have installed the Windows and Adobe updates and scanned for missing drivers. The Win7 Device Manager shows all devices and drivers are working normally. This is a new installation of Windows 7 and Premiere Pro CS5.5. The only other software on this system is the ASUS AI Suite II 1.01.40 and NVIDIA 3D Vision. The former is a utility for overclocking, but the system is not overclocked. The system does use GPU acceleration (Geforce 570).
Problem #1: CS5.5.2 loads and smoothly opens a CS3 project. The CS3 project runs flawlessly in CS5.5.2, which has created a new project file without altering the file created with CS3. I save the new project and exit Premiere. Next I restart Premiere and try to open the file it just created, but Premiere hangs during opening and returns a message "Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 has stopped working." The choices are: "Check online for a solution and close the program," or "Close the program." Problem details available are:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Application Version: 220.127.116.11
Application Timestamp: 4e960e56
Fault Module Name: Backend.dll
Fault Module Version: 126.96.36.199
Exception Code: c00000fd
Exception Offset: 0000000000237fel
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: 9b84
Additional Information 2: 9b84a2ba8190bd4209a3dfe64aee6574
Additional Information 3: 1ad7
Additional Information 4: 1ad7f469adef96269a5aa4c854ebe644
If I select "Check online for a solution and close the program," it searches for a solution for a few seconds then quits. Although Premiere CS5.5.2 does not open the file it created, it continues to open the original CS3 file. The original CS3 file is larger than the new CS5.5 file, which might account for why it will not open.
Problem #2: I start Encore CS5.1 (included with Premiere Pro CS5.5) and open an existing Encore file created with CS3. I click the DVD "Build" button. The "Check Project" requester opens offering the choices "View" or "Ignore and Continue." The "View" button is highlighted. I click the "Ignore and Continue" button. Nothing happens. I click the "View" button. Nothing happens. I hit the Enter" key and the "Check Project" window opens showing that the "Title Remote" and "End Action" are not set. No menus are involved, so I close the "Check Project" window by clicking the "X" (close) button. I click the "Build" button again. Again the "Check Project" requester opens. Unable to proceed with the build because, as before, the "Ignore and Continue" button does not respond to mouse input, this time I close the requester by clicking the "X." Unexpectedly a "Build Progress" window now opens displaying the progress bars "Starting Project," "Ordering Files for Movie," and then "Validating Media." A "Warning" screen appears stating "This disc is not blank. Are you sure you want to erase everything on it?" I'm attempting ot overwrite a DVD-RW with existing data, so I click "Yes." "Build Progress" shows bars for "Writing Files" then "Ejecting disc," the drive opens, and a screen appears with message: "Encore was unable to complete the operation because of a hardware error (Sense Code 53006). Please contact the hardware manufacturer for more information." A highlighted "OK' button does not accept mouse input, but does accept input from the "Enter" key. The "Build Progress" window then shows two fully filled-in progress bars, one labeled "Writing files. Failed Completed," and the other "Writing DVD disc. Completed." Clicking the "OK" button closes the "Build Progress" window. Clicking the "X" in Encore exits the program. No data are written to the disc.
Note that some mouse clicks work with some window/requester buttons and not with others. There does not seem to be an obvious pattern to that. Windows Device Manager does not find any issues with the hardware.
Any thoughts?
Note that some mouse clicks work with some window/requester buttons and not with others. There does not seem to be an obvious pattern to that. Windows Device Manager does not find any issues with the hardware.
In Encore, this kind of behavior has been caused by video drivers; also by using enlarged icons.
I suggest not starting with old Encore projects. Do a new test project, including a simple menu from the library. While Encore has not changed some of its basics, there are a few quirks that can cause problems.
But because you have so many problems, I'd contact support and ask for install assistance.
For whatever reason, I see that the contents of my reply via e-mail did not make it into the forum. So, my apologies and here is the reply I sent 30 minutes ago:
Thanks for the suggestion to try a new project in Encore rather than an existing one. The issue with Premiere (Problem #1) and one of the two issues with Encore appear to have been resolved, but Encore still does not respond to some mouse actions.
Problem #1 (Pr 5.5 crashing when opening the 5.5 file it just created) miraculously solved itself! No idea why, but the next time I tried to open a CS3 project that CS5.5 had saved, it opened and played just fine. "Go figure," as they say.
So I decided to export the new 5.5 project and then try to import the m2v and wav files as a timeline in Encore to see if I could get Encore to burn a disc. It exported successfully from Premiere and imported into Encore and I was able to burn the movie by using the enter key when the mouse would not select or activate some of Encore's buttons. It turned out that the "hardware problem" that stopped Encore before was a disc problem. It didn't like the disc I was using. But when I tried a different brand, Encore had no trouble burning the file. (Both were DVD+RWs). (Go figure.)
So, in summary, Premiere CS5.5 opens Premiere CS3 files automatically converting to CS5.5, which it now reopens without an issue. Encore does now burn discs on my existing drives, but still does not respond to some mouse operations.
Which brings me to the next issue: Problem #3. The newly burned DVD plays, but the picture has a thin black border on each side of the image. This appears to be the case no matter what output format I choose, but was never the case with any of the projects I produced with CS3. My original was shot in HDV (1440x1080) and output at 1920x1080.
Crop 14 pixels from the top and 12 from the bottom to get a full screen DVD without any borders. It is caused by the PAR adjustment for widescreen between CS3 and CS5.x.
Awsome! Thank you, Sir.
Oops, it didn't work. I'm assuming you mean crop the image in Premiere in Media Encoder before encoding. I tried it several ways both on the top and bottom and sides. No change. However I crop it, Image still has the black borders on the sides when the encoded files are imported into Encore..
Do you have scale to fit selected on the export tab?
Yes, I have "scale to fit" on the output tab and "Fit" on the zoom button just above the Source Range bar, and I've tried both "None" and 16:9 on the "Crop Proportions" button.
I've also tried the settings exactly as illustrated in the image Harm sent (above). When the crop settings are as illustrated above, the crop area shows 1440x1054 pixels, whereas I believe the preset is 1440x1080 (don't know if that matters).
The other output settings I'm using are different from the illustration, though: NTSC, 720x480, 29.97fps, Quality 5.0, Upper PCM, 48 kHz, 16 bit Stereo VBR, 2 Pass, Min 8.00, Target 8.00, Max 8.00 Mbps. (Source is 1440x1080 (1.3333), 29.97 fps, Progressive, 00;18;21;02 48000 Hz, Stereo.)
I've also tried much larger crops, cropping from the sides, etc. Result is always the same. Everything else that I've tried in Premiere seems to work as expected, though not so with Encore.
Thanks for sticking with this, although it now appears the focus has changed from the original topic. I have also searched the forum for similar issues, but not found anything else.
Ah . . .It appears the problem was that I was setting the "Crop Proportions" (to the right of the crop settings) to 16:9. Leaving that setting to "None" produced the correct result. However, after a number of encoding trials, for some reason I seem to get a cleaner edge with the Top set to "12" and the Bottom set to "13."
Expect I'll contact Adobe about the non-working buttons in Encore.

1. The Detroit News reports that Ford has already reached 100,000 F-150 EcoBoost sales in 2011, just as the automaker promised it would.
2. GM is idling some of its truck plants to retool for 2013 models. The company has stockpiled 90 days worth of trucks to keep inventory up while the plants retool.
3. More than 1000 brand new Honda cars were damaged in the horrible flooding to hit Thailand recently. Honda is protecting its brand and its consumers by destroying these cars before black marketeers can get their hands on them. The cars will be demolished.
4. Chrysler is hoping to tempt luxury buyers with their new 300 Luxury series featuring leather and wood usually found in Maseratis. The prices start in the 40k range, well below what many other luxury makers charge. Of course you still have to deal with the usual 1960s-style car salesman at a Chrysler dealership and THAT will bring back visions of Ricardo Montalban and the horrible 1975 Cordoba.
5. According to Ward's Auto – Toyota launched a total of 13 recall campaigns in 2011 covering over 3.5 million vehicles. Those figures put the Japanese automaker at the top of the most-recalled list for the third year in a row.
6. In other recall news, Chevy is recalling about 5000 Sonics for brake issues.
7. GM, upset that it's far too easy to steal an Escalade, has introduced new theft protection for the 2012 models including a locking steering column, shock sensors, wheel locks, inclination sensors and a PASS Key +3 ignition system. They may have gone a tiny bit over the edge here. Now nobody will steal these things and we won't hear any more news about Escalades.
8. More people were killed last year due to poisoning than in car crashes. I am just saying…
9. If you can't wait to get your hands on the super-powerful, super cool 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 be sure to hit the Barrett-Jackson in Arizona January 15-22. BJ Scottsdale will feature the first ever copy of the new car in its auction.
10. Audi intends to recruit some 1,200 specialists in 2012. From 2012 through 2016 the Audi Group is planning to invest a total of $13 billion, mainly in new products and technologies.

Coroner: Driver killed after losing control on icy road
Pickens County driver killed
UPDATED 12:05 PM EST Jan 28, 2013
The driver of a pickup truck was killed Friday morning, and troopers say it's likely weather is to blame.
The coroner said the victim is James Allen Carroll, 52 of Liberty.
Carroll's 2003 Ford F-250 pickup was headed north on Highway 123 just after 11 a.m. when the wreck happened, troopers said.
Near mile marker 16, the driver lost control, ran off the right side of the road, then flipped, according to troopers.
Carroll was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.
Carroll's son was rushed to Greenville Memorial Hospital with unknown injuries, troopers said.

Alzheimer's disease presents researchers with a number of challenges, from the difficulties in early detection and treatment to the trouble in securing adequate funding for research. The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF), whose "mission is to rapidly accelerate the discovery of drugs to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's," provides seed funding for early-stage research at Alzheimer's drug discovery programs around the world. We had the pleasure of speaking with Penny Dacks, Assistant Director of Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention at the ADDF, about what the foundation does, the challenges they face and some of the exciting new drug research they're helping make possible.
Fisetin, a flavonol found in strawberries, mangoes, cucumber, and other fruits and vegetables, may protect the brain against Alzheimer's, dementia, and age-related memory loss, according to research just out from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
As research on Alzheimer's disease becomes a growing societal priority worldwide, the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association have launched the International Alzheimer's Disease Research Portfolio (IARDP). By organizing thousands of studies on AD into one central database, IADRP will help sponsors identify funded research to avoid duplication, coordinate funding efforts, and spot gaps in support. Researchers may find it useful for the same reasons. With the participation of nine funding agencies and four more that joined recently, the organizers aim to create a comprehensive overview of global efforts to fund Alzheimer's research.
Metabolic Solutions Development Company, LLC (MSDC) has announced that Jerry Colca, PhD, co-founder and chief scientific officer of MSDC, will present results of a Phase 2a study on September 9 at the 14th International Conference on Alzheimer's Drug Discovery. In people with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) who were not diabetic, the study found that the mTOT(TM)-modulating insulin sensitizer (MSDC-0160) maintained glucose metabolism in key regions of the brain associated with cognitive decline due to AD, as confirmed by FDG-PET imaging.
Earlier this month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a draft Decision Memorandum to deny Medicare reimbursements to patients using an innovative FDA-approved Alzheimer's diagnostic technology designed to help physicians identify whether patients with signs of cognitive impairment may have Alzheimer's or are in fact suffering from another form of dementia. This information is vital to patients, their providers, choices regarding their treatment and their ultimate health outcomes.
Academia, Early-Stage Biotech Companies Increasingly Look to CROs to Fill Gaps
Academia and early-stage biotech companies are more frequently looking to fill holes in their expertise and preclinical capacities through the use of CROs, according to a commentary in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery.
Big pharma's move to outsource much of its research and development needs to contract research organizations have helped create a thriving CRO industry. The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation wants to help academic institutions and small biotechnology companies connect with CROs to make drug development more efficient. It's launched a social network it compares to Match.com so drug developers can more easily find people and companies that can support their preclinical development work.
With just five successes, all just slowing progression of symptoms for six to 12 months, the road to an Alzheimer's drug has been paved with failure. And the setbacks keep coming, most recently in May, when Baxter International's Gammagard failed in Phase III to reduce cognitive decline or preserve functional ability in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's patients.
Mary Rose Taylor knows first-hand the toll Alzheimer's disease takes on people and their families.
The Buckhead resident's husband, Mack, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, which causes dementia including memory loss and behavior problems, in 1996 at age 67. He died in 2008 and was a patient of Dr. Allen Levey, director of the Emory University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and chairman of the DeKalb County college's neurology department.
The Alzheimer's Society of Atlanta and the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Program (ADDF) team up for "Hope on the Horizon" a luncheon, symposium and fundraiser. All of the money raised will go to drug research at Emory's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, led by Dr. Allan Levey. The event also will honor Dan Carithers, an internationally renowned Atlanta-based decorator who has Alzheimer's.

"I'm kind of sad there is no confetti afterwards, but I'll deal with it," joked senior linebacker David Nwabuisi after the game.
One can excuse the Northwestern Wildcats if their jubilation seemed a bit drawn out. After 64 years of waiting, there was plenty to rejoice.
The trophy handed to head coach Pat Fitzgerald carried the reward of more than just one win. Northwestern ended run of bowl futility, one which scarred it since 1949. The 34-20 defeat of Mississippi State saw the Wildcats' clearing of their greatest hurdle. Now they can continue their sprint forward.
The recruiting classes keep improving for Northwestern, and that trend will only continue. Just one day before the Gator Bowl, it was announced that $55 million has been raised toward NU's new state-of-the-art lakefront facility, the football program's new home. Add to that having stability under Fitzgerald—locked in through 2020. The arrow is pointing upward.
"The sky is the limit for where our program can go," Fitzgerald said. "We've gotten off to an unbelievable start with our fundraising campaign, and we'll be way ahead of schedule in improving our facilities to where they are currently to the best in the country, in a setting that is unmatched and unparalleled in college football."
A 9-3 regular season illustrated Northwestern's potential, but the three losses painted how it wasn't quite ready to join the Big Ten's elite company. As the Wildcats prepared for their trip to Jacksonville, the accomplished senior class pointed to the Gator Bowl as a catalyst for the future.
Senior captain Brian Mulroe smiled after his final collegiate game. He fully understood what the win signified.
"A 10-win season is really big for this senior class," Mulroe said. "This program is on its way up."
When speaking to the media, Fitzgerald detailed what the program's winningest-ever class accomplished.
"I think [the Gator Bowl victory] speaks volumes for the legacy, and the incredible success and the foundation that they've laid for the future," he said. "And that will be our challenge as we move forward."
With such a task at hand, a critical offseason begins. Northwestern returns 16 starters for its final game, but young depth and a strong class of incoming freshmen will make the team even better.
The Wildcats are equipped to run for the Big Ten championship—more so than ever before under Fitzgerald. The victory on Tuesday could be the start of something special.
"We might not be putting the Big Ten Championship trophy in our case," Fitzgerald said. "But we took a big step forward in accomplishing that mission today."
The Gator Bowl's final whistle sparked an exuberant celebration, but also marked the beginning of the offseason. Greater success could be in Northwestern's future.
"Chicago's Big Ten team is going to come back as Chicago's Big Ten champions," Fitzgerald said. "And season tickets went on sale today. So we're already in 2013, so let's get to work."

Tango, Mr. Boston to Star in New Reality Showby Matt Richenthal at .
TV loves an odd couple.
So here's the rumored new one: Patric "Tango" Hunter - who won Tiffany Pollard's heart and then dissed her big time on I Love New York - revealed that he and Mr. Boston are planning to star in their own reality series.
Although no fresh details about the new show have emerged, Mr. Boston said in a more recent interview with Black Press Radio that he has received an offer to do his own spin-off television series, but didn't elaborate or mention whether or not the show would involve Tango.
In the same interview, Mr. Boston also lashed out at New York, saying he's "pissed that she didn't pick me. She didn't get to experience the Boston Charm." And even though Tango did supposedly love her at one point, he shares this sentiment for Pollard.
"She was dissing me harder than the dudes was," Tango said during the reunion. "I have absolutely no love for New York."
Despite how things worked out between himself and Tiffany Pollard, Tango said I Love New York has helped his music career, especially when it comes to gaining contacts in the industry.
"That's probably the most amazing part of it. Coming off a show like this, you can easily get absolutely no respect. I was Tango before the show. I had a great career before the show writing and ghostwriting for other artists. And now, I have been embraced by a lot of industry artists," he said. "Bone Thugs, we have a great relationship â€" along with their DJ, DJ Ice. Carl Thomas I have a great relationship with. The list goes on and on."

So Tango did have an agenda after all, you R all the same, just promoting yourselves, no love for Miss New York, it is all about YOU, NY is a actress, albiet a bad one, so I knew why she did the show but shame on all of the guys pretending they really wanted New York when all they wanted was a boost to thier "so called Careers"!! You dissapointed me Tango, you are as fake as the rest of them*

Daily Bagel: McIlroy follows Wozniacki at Australian Open from afar
The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.
• Video: Carla Suarez Navarro pulled off the early upset of the tournament Tuesday, knocking out No. 7 Sara Errani, a quarterfinalist last year. She did it with the help of this sick diving volley. Boris Becker would be proud.
• Looks like Rory McIlroy was up at 3 a.m. in Abu Dhabi to watch Caroline Wozniacki's comeback victory over Sabine Lisicki.
Great comeback by @CaroWozniacki! Off and running at the Australian Open… Now I can get a few more hours sleep!—
Rory Mcilroy (@McIlroyRory) January 15, 2013
• As Steve Tignor writes, the highly anticipated first-round match between Roger Federer and Benoit Paire turned out to be a dud.
In the third set, the Frenchman commenced clown time in earnest—a drop shot overhead was soon followed by a two-handed forehand return, which, inevitably, led to volley hit (and missed) from between the legs. Along the way, Paire may have set the record for the worst challenge of all time, a joke query of a second serve that landed four feet long. It was one of the Frenchman's eight double faults over the course of a very short match.
• Lots to like in Kimiko Date-Krumm's post-match press conference transcript. The 42-year-old became the oldest player to win a match at the Australian Open, beating No. 12 Nadia Petrova 6-2, 6-0 for her first win in Melbourne since 1996. What's the secret to her success? "Just I eat a lot; I sleep a lot." As for whether she hangs out with the younger players in the locker room:
No, it's like my daughter (laughter). But it's happen. Some people, the player's mother is younger than me. So it's like my daughter.
• Wu Di, ranked No. 186, became the first Chinese man to play in the main draw of a Slam. He lost to Ivan Dodig, but it was an experience of a lifetime.
"I was shocked," Wu, who was mobbed after the match by fans wearing his country's red national flag, told reporters. "In domestic tournaments, it's hard enough getting Chinese to cheer me on, let alone foreigners.
"But there were foreigners here telling me to 'come on!'. That was the first time that's happened, so I felt really happy to have that."
• Sponsor news: Tomas Berdych, no longer with Nike, signed with H&M as his clothing sponsor. … Victoria Azarenka signs with Red Bull. … Svetlana Kuznetsova goes from Fila to Chinese brand Qiaodan.
• Tim Smyczek's younger sister, Lauren, is blogging for Tennis Grandstand. You can read her thoughts on what it was like growing up with a tennis pro brother there. Smyczek, who got into the Australian Open main draw as a lucky loser, is into the second round and will play No. 4 David Ferrer.
• The Changeover breaks out the PowerPoint deck to try to determine the king and queen of the bagel set. The answers might surprise you.
• Warning: If you click this link, you can't unsee it. Crocodile Dunblane.
• Non-tennis: Fifteen years after its release, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Gus Van Sant reflect on Good Will Hunting.

About Me Parent
We purchased these products to be used at an elementary school event. Unfortunately, out of one dozen ordered, we were only able to use three, over the course of maybe two days, the others starting leaking air. I must say the company staff that we contacted where very helpful and understandable when we realized at first that four had holes in them. Yes, I would order from your company again, but these items need to be checked in some way before shipping. I would recommend this to a friend with caution.

Paul Edwards offers some seasonal thoughts ahead of the New Year.
I spent most of Christmas Day visiting cricket grounds. An old friend and I take advantage of the almost empty roads and our relatively free time to drive to clubs we wouldn't visit in the normal run of a season. A few years back it was the Birmingham League; last year, the Bradford area; this Christmas it was the turn of the Lancashire County League plus Hyde and Compstall, so there we were at Thornham, Dukinfield, Woodhouses and more Dentons than you could shake a stump at.
Good fun it was too, but even in late December I rather wondered how long it would take some of the grounds to dry out. Even on outfields unmarked by massive puddles, the turf was saturated and the water rose above the welts of my shoes whenever I took a step or two on the sodden earth. It was difficult at such moments not to ponder the lives of the people whose job is to prepare such land for cricket.
Lancashire's groundsman Matt Merchant has lived with the vagaries of the English climate for most of the 23 years he has been on the Old Trafford staff, yet even he was surprised by the amount of rain which came down during the 2012 season.
"I've never known a summer like it," said Merchant. "It was the year when four-day games returned to Old Trafford but there were long periods when the square was hardly uncovered. Neither air nor the right amount of water could get to the wickets, and the result was the pitch we played on against Worcestershire."
Lancashire fans may remember that the match against Daryl Mitchell's side ended in a 207-run defeat, but few supporters stayed on for the subsequent wicket inspection by the ECB Pitch Panel, an experience the Old Trafford groundsman describes as possibly "the tensest and most nerve-wracking situation" of his professional life.
Merchant knows there may be more fraught days ahead in 2013, a few of them connected with the Test match against Australia which begins on August 1st. But he does not demur when it is suggested that the Ashes game will also be the highlight of his career to date.
"This is the one you look forward to," he said. "You're nervous, of course, but the preparations are going fine at the moment. We have a choice of two wickets for the game and we'll make a decision based on grass cover and levels in April or early May."
The decision whether to play on the strip used for last season's England Lions game or that on which the rain-wrecked t20 international was played in September will be made by Merchant and Lancashire's Cricket Director Mike Watkinson. Then the groundstaff will get the chosen pitch ready for the Test; and on the morning of the game, in a moment faintly redolent of an ancient religious ceremony, the wicket will be handed over to the umpires just prior to the toss.
Much of the rest of Merchant's time will be taken up in readying Old Trafford to host six first-class games and a host of one-day matches, some of which will be televised. "We sometimes have more TV games than TV pitches," he admits. In addition there are outground fixtures at Liverpool and Southport and a number of second team games, for all of which high-quality wickets must be prepared.
It is a tough schedule for the Lancashire groundsman and his men. So, at a time of year which is traditionally filled with resolutions, good wishes, all manner of kerfuffle and a general knees-up, perhaps it would be pleasant if Lancashire supporters join me in sending our best wishes to Matt Merchant as he gets ready for perhaps the most important summer of his career.

The Triad Holiday Challenge is a corporate-based initiative that encourages businesses to do their part to feed the hungry in the Triad by hosting internal food drives and fundraisers.
Organized by Sealy, FOX8 and Old Dominion Freight Lines, the Challenge benefits eight local Salvation Army food pantries. It occurs in the fall prior to the Sealy FOX8 Holiday Concerts held each December.
How much is that food needed? In 2012, the Greensboro/High Point metropolitan area was ranked second in rates of food hardship, according to the Food Research and Action Center's most recent study Food Hardship in America 2012.
Each year, with the support of the community, The Salvation Army in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point collected hundreds of thousands can food items, for hungry families and individuals. Our goal each year is to help fill those pantries with enough food so they are stocked year-round. We cannot accomplish this without the participation of more companies and schools!
New to the Triad Holiday Challenge? We welcome your participation, whatever the size of your company and size of your food drive. We make it easy for you to get started by providing online registration, campaign materials (see menu at the top of this page) and lots of great campaign ideas on this site.
In addition, Old Dominion will deliver the donation boxes to your company and transport your donated food items to the Salvation Army at the end of the Challenge.
The "Think Outside the Can" theme is a great reminder that you can stretch employee donations further by submitting financial donations to the Salvation Army. Every dollar contribution is converted into three cans of food!
In addition, please check out the list of most needed food on TriadHolidayChallenge.com and learn how your company can earn double the points for the Challenge.
Get started now by registering your company. Learn more about the Triad Holiday Challenge by viewing the videos below and reading details on the Triad Holiday Challenge Fact Sheet, FAQs and Important Dates.

Tossing the shrimp with more piri piri sauce after they come off the grill gives the shrimp an extra kick of flavour.

How Can I Get More Than 8 Static IPs for My Business?
Last Updated: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 > Related Articles
Learn how to acquire routed netblocks to expand your company's stable of static IP addresses.
Cox Business Services can provide your business with more than 8 static IPs through your cable modem, by way of routed netblocks.
By using routed netblocks, Cox Business Services can supply your company with a set of IPs that are in contiguous order, ie. 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, etc.
You may order IP ranges in the size of 8, 16, 32 and 64. Using these fixed sizes ensures that your company will receive the IPs in numerical order.
If at a later time you feel the need to add more IPs to your service, you will need to return the current set, and we will assign a new larger set of IPs to your company.
To employ a routed netblock for your office, you must have a router that does true routing; Most "consumer grade"-type broadband gateways will NOT support this.
Some routers that can function with this product are:
Cisco routers
Bay Networks/Nortel
Please consult the documentation that came with your router before choosing to purchase this product.
These netblocks can be ordered from your Cox Business Services sales representative.

While the Obama Administration and the United Nations pretend to be discussing some really tough sanctions against the Iranian regime led by madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has publicly called Israel an "occupying regime" and is working for a "World Without Zionism", the world knows the sanctions will be neither tough nor effective.
The problem is, Barack Obama sat on the front row of a church that spewed the same kind of racial hatred for 20 years, so Ahmadinejad must seem like home to Obama. And as his friend Bill Ayers taught him, blowing something up that you don't like is perfectly fine.

Create a policy for deleting a set-cookie header and cache content data.
Problem Description
For a specific application, a customer needs to create a policy to delete the set-cookie header, and cache the content data from OCS, when the OCS sends a specific HTTP response header as:
Cache-Control: no-cache="set-cookie"
Also, if there is a Vary directive in the HTTP response header, the content should be cached.
Here is the policy to handle an HTTP response header from OCS to ProxySG, which expects the appliance to delete the set-cookie header, and cache the content data.
Cache-Control: public, no-cache="set-cookie"
For example:
If there is a set-cookie header, but the policy does not contain Cache-Control: public, no-cache="set-cookie", the content is not cached.
If there is a vary header, the content is cached.
This can be applied in local proxy, VPM policy, or through CPL.
Here is the sample policy:

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=590230Police in London, Ont., announced Wednesday they have charged a man in connection with last week's banana-throwing incident which took place during a preseason game between the Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers at the John Labatt Centre.
Christopher Moorhouse, 26, was identified as the person who tossed a banana on the ice while Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds, who is black, was taking his turn in the shootout.
London Police Chief Brad Duncan said Moorhouse has been charged with engaging in a prohibited activity under the Trespass Act. If convicted, he could be fined $2,000 (Canadian).
Duncan said the police reviewed the incident and determined it did not meet the threshold for charging Moorhouse with a hate crime. Mischief charges also did not apply.
Duncan said police received numerous tips, including several through social media. It was within the past 12 hours, he said, that they were able to identify the suspect.
Duncan said Moorhouse expressed remorse for his actions.
Maybe they do things differantly in Canadia, but since when have Banana's been associated to racism? Or is Canadia so uptight that if you look at a black man the wrong way, they try to determine if it's a hate crime?

Things I liked:.25 - This pistol works best as an extended carbine rifle by adding the shoulder extension and the barrel sound lock kit. In short, if you're not too hung up on quick follow-up shots, then this little thing is one of the most lethal and fun things to take to the field for small game. period.
Things I would have changed:Trigger is a bit heavy w/ no adjustment. This little thing sounds almost like a .22 w/o the mod kit. Power adjustment is somewhat worthless as chronograph showed little or no gain. Don't expect to get more than 10 to 12 full power shots per refill. Safety is just plain bad design. Added accessories are expensive but needed to make this thing as good as it can be.
What others should know:I had a choice between the new version that came out in '12 or the older pre'12 model and I wish I'd selected the older version for several reasons that I won't get into here. Mine chrono'd out at just above 900'/sec using JSB Exact King 25gn pellets at full power and 860 using Beeman Kodiak Match 31gn pellets which I would highly recommend in this airgun. Again, just be aware that your shot velocity will fade fast so make the first 5 or 6 shots count while you still have 150 bar or more air available. A UTG 3-9x32 scope w/ high mounts works terrific on this gun.
Things I liked:This gun is a real thumper. I like the size and the power on the Talon P. This the second one I have owned and would recommend it to anyone wanting a compact and very accurate gun that is powerful
Things I would have changed:A multi shot would be fantastic, but may not be something AIrforce can do with the design of the gun.
Things I liked:My talon-p is quick detach, breaks down much easier to fit in my backpack with my extra air tank. Very hard hitting,accurate,and cool.
Things I would have changed:Accessories are too pricey. Gun is pricey too but worth the price of admission for the fun factor. Otherwise would not change a thing very happy with purchase.
What others should know:My talon loves the USB exact kings 25.39 grains. I used a BKL cantilever mount with a hawk air max 3x9x40 AO scope and an airforce butt stock. Tack driver!

James "Jim" HougenMarch 8, 1929 – December 25, 2012
James "Jim" Hougen, age 83 of Larimore, ND, passed away Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 4000 Valley Square Woodside Village in Grand Forks, ND.
James "Jim" Hougen
March 8, 1929 – December 25, 2012
James "Jim" Hougen, age 83 of Larimore, ND, passed away Tuesday, December 25, 2012 at 4000 Valley Square Woodside Village in Grand Forks, ND.
Christmas morning, Jim Hougen's gift was being set free from a body no longer able to give wing to his imagination. He was on this earth 83 years.
Jim had no fear of death, but curiosity about what would happen tomorrow kept him going for years. He loved to be busy, and to the chagrin of his children, all trips home were filled with projects to be done. Business was next to godliness. For years, Jim ran a retail business in Larimore started by his father, which he later named "Leonard's." He also built houses, sold and installed floor covering, helped build the Larimore Golf Course, and was involved with other things too numerous to mention.
Jim had a lifelong love of Republican politics and served a term in the North Dakota House of Representatives and the North Dakota Constitutional Convention, as well as many years on the Larimore School Board.
A lifelong member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church, he served on the church council, sang in the church choir, and taught Sunday School – he loved to take his Sunday School class on a trip to the Metropolitan Stadium to see the Minnesota Twins.
Jim was an avid fan of local sports – his favorite team being the Larimore Polar Bears, followed by the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux, all other North Dakota teams, the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Vikings, and Lakers - even though they moved to California. Sunday drives for his family often involved a trip to see the Twins play. Family trips around the United States often involved driving around big cities to see the local stadiums.
We have a cherished family photo of Jim. After a snow storm he decided it was time to clear the walk. The picture shows Jim being pushed in his wheel chair by Vella, he in turn is pushing his snowblower. Neither practical nor efficient, but it was an opportunity to be busy. For the last 20 years of his life, he sported only one leg, but none of us could keep up.
Jim celebrated Christmas Eve with his earthly family. We attended a church service and he sang Silent Night with a strong voice.
Christmas Day was celebrated with those that left before him: His parents, Leonard and Gladys (Larson) Hougen, his brother Lloyd and his sister Doris (Shide). Always an adventuresome traveler, he joins his sons Charlie and Paul who will guide him to his new home.
Jim leaves behind Vella (Olson) the love of his life and wife of 61 years. His sister-in-law Margaret Tank and brother-in-law Bob Shide also survive him. Also left behind are his sons, John (Michelle) and David, and daughters Jane Hougen, Ardis (Craig) Kraft and Susan (Marty) Lieberg and daughter-in-law Stephanie Hougen. His grandchildren, Meghan (Brandon) Fortman, Erik (Becky) Hougen, Rachel (Ryan) Galemore, Krysta Hougen, Luke Kraft, Carlie Hougen, Emma & Sarah Hougen, Ben & Kjerstie Lieberg, and four great-grandsons Elijah, Caden, William, and Liam.
Jim's family is grateful for the wonderful care he received at the Larimore Good Samaritan Center and at 4000 Valley Square Woodside Village the last two years. A service was held December 27 in Larimore to remember his life.
SERVICES will be held Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 10 a.m. in the Bakke Funeral Chapel, Larimore, ND.
Arrangements by Bakke Funeral Home, Larimore North, Dakota.

The fee assessed is based upon the size of the product. Oversize items are excluded from shipping promotions.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
came in a timely manner and fit great
The costume is really nice quality. I was very pleased when I opened it up. It zips up in the back and you can adjust the front corset part and tie it tighter or loosen it, which was nice. Most costumes it's just for show.
It comes folded up in a bag (like most costume do!), so expect wrinkles on something you can't iron. Aside from that, it fits pretty good on me, but you might want to go up a size. I usually take about an XL-1X depending on the clothes, but I took a 3-4X in this and it fit just perfect.
The skirt part is a little larger/flowy, which a petticoat underneath would help puff out if that's a concern. Overall, I think it's a beautiful costume, very cute, colorful and comfortable! I feel cute as a button in it, and to me that's worth every cent I paid. :)
I was having a hard time finding an appropriate costume for a church function. This costume was both sexy and conservative. Everyone loved it and I felt every myself. :)
..it fits on top, is a bit too large at waist & in skirt..for the price, a short petticoat should be included, without pettis it looks lifeless..so after spending a good amount to get it to me, as is, it's soooo hopelessly wrinkled & still needs a petticoat for it to even look like it does on the package..if you aren't going to sell the outfit in it's entirety, you should have the picture on the package be true to life..meaning, if it's not sold with it, in the bag, it shouldn't be pictured on the bag..it also arrived about 2 weeks too late, as I'd ordered it for a specific date..

Rio+20 or is it -20
My name is Lucia Ortiz. I've been working with Friends of the Earth Brazil for more than 10 years. In this period, I have joined Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) at UN climate conferences, Rio+10 (the United Nations conference on sustainable development) in Johannesburg and many civil society gatherings. In June 2012 it will be time for us to host friends again in Brazil for the Rio+20 conference.
Lucia Ortiz The discussion about the outcomes and expectations for Rio+20 is starting in the federation, based on the views of member groups. As the national member in Brazil, we would like to share some of our thoughts in this space. We invite you all to have some fun and collective free thinking!
How we see Rio+20 in Brazil
We've been a part of the Brazilian civil society facilitator committee for Rio+20 since November 2010, representing Rede Brasil on Financial Institutions along with twenty other national networks and social movements with diverse perspectives. In this process we have been developing our views from exchanges and collective thinking with our allies, while monitoring the Brazilian government's positions.
There is no real official process to cope with the three main and noble objectives of the conference: to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, to assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps (and why not their structural causes?) in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development since Rio92, and to address new and emerging challenges.
The Conference will also focus on two themes: the first, any guesses? Green economy! And the other one, Global Governance (or control?) of the environment. The most recent UN climate talks related to the issues of sustainable development, and the totally insufficient preparation process for Rio+20, can give us a clue on how controversy it can be.
Currently our main concerns do not lie in the outcomes or possible agreements at the conference itself, as a "zero draft" will be known only by January 2012.
As the official United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) "Road Map to Rio+20" clearly states, while some organisations, as well as corporations, keep busy with these official contributions, the ongoing process consists of "recommending domestic strategies (national policies) that developing countries (not industrialised countries) need to put in place to meet the challenges of transitioning to the green economy".
The pressure to move to a "green" economy
The pressure to speed up these initiatives are already being felt by peoples in the South. 'Structural adjustment of environmental and land tenure policies', also known as land grabbing, is now taking place on a massive scale at an alarming pace. This is similar to the neoliberal adjustment of national policies in the 1990's to liberalise public services, or to the rules imposed by TLCs/FTAs to open access to land and minerals by corporations. We are told we must now must adapt domestic laws to the new green capitalist phase which means to liberalise the environment for the markets.
So the transition to the green economy comes in a series of steps described very clearly by a community leader from Amazonia. The dismantling of forest laws, then the approval of so called climate change laws (that do not mention any decrease in fossil fuel consumption but centrally the creation of imaginary caps and carbon markets whose rights are assured by the state), then the new laws on REDD that allow certificates known as green titles to be traded in stock markets to offset pollution by industrialised countries (that do not need any transition to green economy), and finally the laws about Payment for Environmental Services (PES), or the domestic internalisation of The Economy of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB).
Instruments of the green economy, REDD and PES, mean the concrete interpretation of the results of the UN climate summit in Cancun, 2010 (COP16) and of the Convention on Biological Diversity, Nagoya, 2010 (COP10). This threatens the sovereignty of communities over their territories.
By generating green papers out of common goods, such as carbon, water, biodiversity and even cultural values, they are aimed at saving a discredited financial system rather than the people or the planet.
The difference of the Rio+20 tentative global green deal and the neoliberal consensus of Washington is that the last came before the structural adjustments, while Rio+20 will come after and put a green UN label on the false consensus that is green capitalism.
As Nnimmo Bassey, Chair of Friends of the Earth International, once said: "If Rio92 was known as the Earth Summit, Rio+20 can be known as the summit of the commodification of nature."
The problem is it's already happening!

UNRISD Conference: bringing back the social dimension?
Friends of the Earth Brazil's Lucia Ortiz blogs on the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development conference that took place recently in Switzerland.
At the conference I had the chance to put forward FoEI's views on the green economy and to exchange and learn from very committed social researchers, sometimes burdened by the green agendas of donors and agencies, but with a clear call for independent research on real social change in these times of colourful changes.
Scientists are engaged in the challenge to break down the wall of the false dichotomy between social and ecological dimensions in modern science, that have split unnaturally peoples from nature in our industrial society. I have many stories and insights from the conference to share, but the statement I liked the most was a reference to my speech made during the presentation by a UNEP representative.
The representative said: "No comparison can be made with structural adjustments of the '90's, as a green economy is not about an adjustment of macro economy as it was then, it is only an 'adjustment of the structure' (read: of the policies in developing countries)".
Ah…do you feel any better? I don't! So the economic system is fine, what needs to adapt to the new capitalist phase are governments, policies, peoples and the environment!

Civil society calls on the Malaysian Government to halt nuclear development plan
Civil society organisations from Japan, South Korea, Australia and Malaysia said they are convinced beyond doubt that nuclear power has no place in Malaysian's quest to chart a sustainable energy future.
Friends of the Earth Australia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and a number of other civil society organisations are urging the government of Malaysia to increase its support for sustainable energy instead of spending taxpayers' money on nuclear technology which has proven time and again to be economically, environmentally and socially harmful.
The calls come out of a two day public forum which provided an insight into the potential of energy efficiency and renewable energy to achieve a healthy energy mix for Malaysia. The forum heard first-hand the suffering endured by the people of Fukushima from the tsunami which triggered a nuclear crisis as a result of the meltdown of three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Eri Watanabe, the Nuclear and energy campaigner for Friends of the Earth Japan said:
"The accident in Fukushima reminded us that once a severe accident happens, the environmental and social impacts are irreversible
"So far, the Japanese government cannot sufficiently protect their people from radiation. However, the government still continues its policy to promote exports of nuclear power technology. This is morally wrong because its own people are still suffering so much from the accident.
"I strongly recommend that the Malaysian government and people rethink the introduction of nuclear energy for your prosperity and for the next generation.
Seiichi Nakate, a Representative of the Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation said:
"I would not want the Malaysian people to experience the tragedy that people in Fukushima are now facing. I came here only because I wanted to tell you this. In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.
"Human beings must abandon nuclear power plants. We must not allow a single nuclear power plant to be built any more."
Kim Hye Jeong, Executive Coordinator of Friends of the Earth Korea said:
"Korea's nuclear technologies are questionable as shown by its track record of 646 minor and major accidents in a period of 32 years since the installation of its first nuclear power plant in 1978.
"We are appalled that the APR1400 nuclear reactor that has yet to be commercially tested in South Korea might just be the type of reactor that the Malaysian government is considering buying from us.
"We condemn the South Korean Government's plan to export such sub‐standard technology to a developing country like Malaysia under the pretext of international technical cooperation," she added.
Dr Jim Green, National nuclear campaigner at Friends of the Earth Australia said:
"Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors that were destroyed in March. We Australians do not want to be responsible for similar disasters in Malaysia."
He also added that, over a 50 year lifespan, a single nuclear reactor is responsible for 1,500 tonnes of high level nuclear waste and a staggering 35 million tonnes of low level radioactive tailings waste. The Malaysian government should not bequeath this toxic legacy to future generations.
After the forum, several Malaysian civil society groups who were present pledged to work together in a concerted campaign against the proposed nuclear power plants.
